Writings on the New Testament

Much of what I write is about the literature of the New Testament and that is for a variety of reasons, the most fundamental of which is that I am far more comfortable in my Greek New Testament than I am in my Hebrew Bible. Plus, I love the Gospels and the stories they tell about Jesus.
